Question

I have been working through some of the sync framework demos and one thing that doesn’t seem to be clear is what you have to do to add a table? So if I start with Order and Order Details in my demo and I want to add a third table what are the steps? I have tried a few things, but they don’t seem to be working. It appears that I would also have to modify the actual scope xml in my scope config table. Is that correct?

So basically what is best practice for handling changes to the master / source schema? Do you have to manually update the clients or will the changes made to the master / source be propogated down to the clients like with the initial sync?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

S

Sync Fx out of the box doesnt support changing the scope definition (add/remove column, add/remove table, add/remove filter).

the fastest workaround is to deprovision and reprovision the scope with a new definition.

or as you mentioned, you can hack your way to the sync fx objects. check http://jtabadero.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/modifying-sync-framework-scope-definition-part-2-workarounds/
